Brad Meltzer Books Overview

The Inner Circle

There are stories no one knows. Hidden stories. I love those stories. And since I work in the National Archives, I find those stories for a living. Beecher White, a young archivist, spends his days working with the most important documents of the U.S. government. He has always been the keeper of other people’s stories, never a part of the story himself…
Until now. When Clementine Kaye, Beecher’s first childhood crush, shows up at the National Archives asking for his help tracking down her long lost father, Beecher tries to impress her by showing her the secret vault where the President of the United States privately reviews classified documents. After they accidentally happen upon a priceless artifact a 200 hundred year old dictionary that once belonged to George Washington, hidden underneath a desk chair, Beecher and Clementine find themselves suddenly entangled in a web of deception, conspiracy, and murder. Soon a man is dead, and Beecher is on the run as he races to learn the truth behind this mysterious national treasure. His search will lead him to discover a coded and ingenious puzzle that conceals a disturbing secret from the founding of our nation. It is a secret, Beecher soon discovers, that some believe is worth killing for. Gripping, fast paced, and filled with the fascinating historical detail for which he is famous, The Inner Circle is a thrilling novel that once again proves Brad Meltzer as a brilliant author writing at the height of his craft.

The Tenth Justice

Fresh out of Yale Law, Ben Addison is a new clerk for one of the Supreme Court’s most respected justices. He’s as bright and conscientious as they come and just as green. When Ben inadvertently reveals the confidential outcome of an upcoming Court decision, one of the parties in the case makes millions. Needless to say, Ben starts to sweat. Ben confides in his co clerk and turns to his D.C. housemates for help. The young Washington professionals offer Ben their coveted insider’s access at the State Department, a senator’s office, and a Washington newspaper to help out snake the blackmailer who holds Ben’s once golden future hostage in exchange for more information on upcoming Court decisions. But it’s not long before the inseparable friends discover how dangerous their misuse of insider power can be. When a suspicious leak develops from within their circle, they find themselves pitted against each other in a battle of shifting alliances and fierce deceptions that threatens their friendships, their careers and ultimately their lives.

Dead Even

With his breakout New York Times bestseller, The Tenth Justice, Brad Meltzer asked us to consider a brutal question: How much can you really trust your friends? Now he pits husband against wife in a legal thriller with the most chilling ultimatum of all: Betray the person you love the most or risk losing them forever. Sara Tate, a Manhattan assistant D.A., is about to lose her job. But the case she nabs to secure her professional future is far more complicated, and deadly, than it first appears. While forces within the D.A.’s office conspire against her, an outside threat looms larger: win the case or her attorney husband, Jared, will die. But Jared has been threatened as well. Strong armed into defending the opposition, he learns that Sara will be killed should he lose the case. In court and at home, husband and wife go head to head while harboring the terrible secret of their motives.

Michael Garrick loves his job as deputy counsel, but when he falls forNora Hartson, the president’s daughter, the conflict between his professionalethics and his growing love for her puts him right in the middle of a murderplot that may reach all the way to the Oval Office. Meltzer excels at plotting, and he knows the back corridors, family quarters,and secret tunnels of the executive branch as well as those of the SupremeCourt, which he revealed in his first two blockbusters.

And Nora, inparticular, doesn’t quite come off as the misguided victim she must be in orderto make the rest of the story credible. But that’s not a huge quibble; Meltzermanages to make Edgar Simon, Michael’s boss, the most interesting White Housecounsel since John Dean.
